Default Do locking rocker arm nuts fit under stock valve covers ?

I have LT-1/L-82 valve covers. Do the aftermarket locking rocker shaft nuts fit under these valve covers ?

I have a set of Crane Kool nuts on mine. These are locking nuts. I have to use the thick Fel pro valve cover gaskets. Actually have a metal insert between two gaskets. These work very well. I had to mill the drippers to 1/2 height due to the lift on the cam but other than that I have stock valve covers.

Don't know about center bolt covers. I am using FPP-1604 Fel Pro gaskets
